About this role
Want to start your career building technology that makes a real difference to human health?
At SPT Labtech , we make products that change the way scientists work. For more than two decades, our scientists, engineers and business innovators have built world-leading solutions for liquid handling, sample preparation and sample management. Researchers around the world use them to move faster on the science that matters.
Whether you’re looking for a summer internship or your first graduate role, you could be part of it.
Two ways in
- Summer Internship 2027: a paid internship, typically around three months, for students who want real experience before they graduate.
- Graduate opportunities: permanent, full-time roles for students graduating in 2027, available when the business has openings.
Where you could make your mark
- Software engineering: test the code that controls precision lab instruments, and help it work perfectly every time.
- Mechanical engineering: design, prototype and refine the systems inside our instruments, from CAD to the workshop bench.
- Electronics engineering: work on the circuits, sensors and control systems that bring our hardware to life.
- Manufacturing: improve how we build our products, from the production line to the finished instrument shipped to a customer.
- Science (biology and chemistry): run the experiments our customers rely on, and help prove what our instruments can do in the lab.
What you can expect
- Paid from day one. Every internship and graduate role is paid.
- Real work. You’ll own projects with clear outcomes that make a difference to our products and customers.
- A mentor from day one. An experienced engineer or scientist will support you, help shape your work and guide your development.
- A cohort of peers. You’ll join other early careers starters on site, with regular check-ins together, and we’ll act on your feedback.
- Room to grow. Interns are among the first we consider when graduate roles open, and graduates build their careers with structured support.
Who we’re looking for
- Internships: undergraduate and master’s students.
- Graduate roles: final-year students and recent graduates.
You should be studying, or have studied, engineering (software, mechanical or electronic), computer science, physics, biology, chemistry or a related subject. You don’t need industry experience. We care about curiosity, hands-on problem solving and wanting to know how things work.
How it works
- Register your interest with your CV any time between October and March, and tell us whether you’re interested in an internship, a graduate role or both.
- We’ll be in touch when roles open that match your interests.
- Shortlisted candidates have a call with our Talent team, then have an interview on site and then a decision will be made on who we offer the position to with feedback ongoing through the process.
